CKFinder is an Ajax application where the front end is completely written in JavaScript, which communicates to the server through XML messages. In the server side, there is


 a “connector”, written in a specific server language, which handles the front end requests. The following graphic illustrates it:

The following tasks must be accomplished by the Connector:

  • Receive CKFinder requests.
  • Manage operations in the File System, like folder and files creations and listings.
  • Build the XML response in the right format and syntax.
  • Receive and handle file uploads from the File Browser.
  • Generate image thumbnails.
  • Handle ACL settings.
  • All requests must take in consideration the settings defined in the config file. All confi
  • g files should be unified.


This document contains the overall specifications for the development


of the connector for CKFinder.
